At the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized European governments for disregarding the will of their citizens, undermining elections, and neglecting religious freedoms. He also addressed controversial cultural issues, including Britain's abortion laws and Romania's recent election, calling for a reassessment of Europe's approach to these challenges.
In an interview with Yalda Hakim on Sky News, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski remarked that JD Vance’s speech was more philosophical than focused on security, agreeing with the call for more European defense spending. He emphasized that the global security situation is changing, with rising threats, especially due to Russia’s actions.
Sikorski highlighted the need to consider increased defense spending due to rising security threats, noting that the approaching anniversary of the war in Ukraine makes it even more urgent to address military expenditure.
